    Yeah...that is the cure for everything.

    CEO's come into a corporation...and "cure" its problem by getting rid of X% of the employees...requiring the remaining employees to do the work that the discharged employees did...

    ...and then gets a bonus often worth as much as the people discharged were making.

    So...the if Donald Trump cuts the federal work force...he will be creating more unemployment.

    But who cares. Those people can go on the dole...or starve to death.

    Meat inspectors have nothing to do with the EPA. Your lack of this basic knowledge takes away from your message.

    Hate to say this, but it's the bunk that this country was founded on. Limited government with enumerated powers. FDR dramatically increased the power of government when he created the New Deal Court by threatening the justices that he would increase the seats on the court until he could create a fascist federal government protected by a rubber stamp court.

    Wickard v. Filburn took the Commerce Clause from the power to regulate interstate commerce to having the power to manage your vegetable patch in your back yard.

    That mindset recently unleashed the EPA to write a rule that gives them the power to regulate water troughs on farms.

    Peruse the Constitution, Amendments and the Federalist Papers and report back just how the founders authorized any organ of the federal government to regulate a puddle of water on your property.

    Some people (I am not one of them) want to be governed by the thought processes of people who lived hundreds of years ago.

    I wonder if they also want doctors who practice medicine from the 18th century to tend to their medical needs.

    In any case, my comments hold:

    Some people do not want to be governed at all. The comment, "The less government involvement in our lives, the better" is a mantra that essentially embodies that notion...it is the natural progression of it.

    I might point out: If the mantra is correct...NO GOVERNMENT AT ALL would make our lives the best...something even the most deluded have to realize is nuts.
